Description: Inscribed To The Chairman Of The NEATHE COLLECTED STORIES OF EUDORA WELTYBy Eudora Welty(1980)Association copy (later printing) of this collection of short stories spanning the most productive portion of Eudora Welty's long career, inscribed to Frank Hodsoll, then chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.Near fine in very good plus dust jacket."But happiness, Albert knew, is something that appears to you suddenly, that is meant for you, a thing which you reach for and pick up and hide at your breast, a shiny thing that reminds you of something alive and leaping." Hodsell and Welty worked for years together at the NEA. Welty was already on the National Council on the Arts (Welty had been appointed by President Nixon in 1972)when Hodsoll was tapped by President Reagan in 1981 to head the NEA. Welty would go on to serve on the Arts Endowment's Committee of Leading American Artists in 1984, the year after this inscription, and would also earn the NEA's National Medal of Arts in 1986.
